That is how dems took congress in 2018, it was gerrymandered for repubs but they got greedy and didn’t leave big enough margins for an especially unpopular leader.
The prez and his allies it appears browbeat all of their states into spreading out their margins further drawing them more districts. I suppose they figure they will just cheat.
Don’t you love how the media always pushes the “just hold on” agenda?
Can you all FINALLY agree, after an official condemnation of “socialism” that nothing is actually going to get better at all at this point and a bunch of picket signs have zero effect?
And what would have the effect you are personally after?
You tell me.
That’s not how this works. You’ve identified the problem
Surely you’re not dumb enough to post your first comment without ideas. So what are they?
You don’t decide how anything works. STFU
Thanks ;)
It’s not MY problem to solve. But apparently very few Americans actually see their country is on fire. When you see fire you run or you work actively to put the fire out. No one is putting the fire out. And very few of you absolute morons are running!!
Oh, so you ARE that embarrassing to suggest you have all the answers. And just like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE TYPES OF RESPONSES, you have nothing to contribute of substance.
Shocking.
Just like you. Shock.
You’re right. It’s over. Let’s all just stop trying.
I haven’t seen anyone successful besides the republicans, so perhaps “trying” should first START before you suggest it stops.
First, that was heavy sarcasm. Second, if you don’t think people have been trying, you haven’t been paying attention. If you’ve got some great ideas, that are realistic, we’re all ears. If your answer is get violent, then don’t bother responding.
I’m fine with whatever happens. If y’all want it to stop, you’ll make it stop. Otherwise it’s what ya want.
The revolution will not be televised.
The right wing, the world over, has realised that they don’t need to suppress protests. They just need to suppress the news coverage that lets them grow.
I’m not American, but I suspect there have been far more attempts at counter action that just didn’t get traction. You just never heard about them due to media capture.
You also need a trifacta to really gain ground. A ‘body’ of popular support (marches etc). A political ‘brain’ to focus and guide it. Finally, you need the option of teeth, to make the other side pay proper attention to you. The Irish troubles are an excellent example of this at play. 95% of it was peaceful marches etc. The last 5% was the IRA and political parties.
Right now, your political party has been captured by the rich, and a media blackout is stopping the body growing to the size that can actually support the teeth.
It would be covered by other sources outside of US reach. And, the reason there is rarely anything in the news is because it’s not happening (in most places)
I’ve seen it happen in the UK. Large protests and UK news barely touches it. Even Facebook etc seems to push it down the rankings.
Because of this, the next protest is less effective, and so gets even less coverage on the international stage.
I would just laugh and laugh and laugh if this was a dummymander.
Got an archive link, a summary, or anything that isn’t ad cancer WITH a paywall?
